Both times we purchased a home in The Villages, we specified a pre-owned home on a view lot in mid Villages. We were never heavily encouraged to buy new. A good agent will ask the right questions to find out your needs and wants. And then the agent will only show you homes that fit that criteria.

The price breaks and discounts happen more before...this time of the year. Think about it. If your house is priced right, staged right, is clean and doesn't smell of smoke, it will sell soon. You watch.

Gracie's final thought is very accurate. A house is only worth what someone is willing to pay. |

we purchased our first two Homes new, because that's what we wanted. Our sales rep was happy to show us the pre owned and new to compair. Our third house we purchased was pre owned it was about location not about what was new not about warranty it was where we wanted to live in the style of house. We sold our first house in 36 hours. use the villages rep quick and easy done deal if you asked only see pre-owned that's what they will show you

For MLS, Lyle Gant, one of the TOTV sponsors posts statistics frequently. Easy math will show that TV agents sell far more re-sales than MLS agents. At least 2-to-1. http://lylesellsthevillages.com/Vill...ics/2015-Sales |

If it is priced right it will sell. No one is going to view a house if it is over priced.
My house sold last year, full price in 2 days. |

I'm wondering if I should feel slighted because our Villages agent never suggested we look at or buy anything in particular. We told him what we wanted and he showed us. Three different times.
We did end up buying new, but that was because I'd done a tone of research and price comparisons. We decided that, for us, new was the best way to go. |

A Villages home will sell if it's priced right. Sellers who smoke inside the home, who resist de-cluttering , who have multiple pets that create pet odor --- they will receive lower offers than a sparkling clean home.

In the past when I was looking for homes I refused to even enter smoked in homes or where the owners kept cats and informed agents of this. A few agents tried to fool me or did not realize a house had a smoker or a cat but in each case I could detect the smell(s) as soon as I entered the front door so I immediately turned around and left.

When we bought four years ago, we went to the sales office and said we wanted to look at new and resale homes. When the agent came to talk to us, he said he was reluctant to show us resales since we were just starting our search and he said if he took us to a resale, the home owner would get their hopes up, and maybe we were just looking. I said, "What?!!" I then went on to the Villages website and found a resale that was what we wanted at a great price and called the agent to ask to see it...he was amazed that I found a house at the price listed and he showed it to us and we bought it the next day. Just recently we started to look at larger resale homes and the Villages' agent was willing to show us anything that we requested to see, and knowing what we were looking for he contacted us several times with information on homes that would be to our liking. In our recent search of homes, we have gone to many open houses and I have to say that quite often the agent is on the phone, or the computer and not very attentive to those looking at the house. Of course, we have encountered other agents who are very personable, attentive and these are the agents we remember and contact.
